Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb baraquer
Introduction to the verb baraquer
The English translation of the French verb baraquer is “to set up camp” or “to pitch a tent.” It is pronounced as “bah-rah-kay.”
The origin of the word baraquer comes from the Catalan word “barraca” meaning “hut” or “shelter.” It was first used in the French language in the 16th century.
In everyday French, baraquer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense to talk about a completed action in the past. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense followed by the past participle of the verb. It is usually used in formal or literary contexts.
Here are three simple examples of using baraquer in the Passé Antérieur tense:
-
Les soldats avaient baraqué leur campement avant la tombée de la nuit. (The soldiers had set up their camp before nightfall.)
-

-
Après avoir baraqué leur camp, les explorateurs se sont mis en route vers les montagnes. (After setting up their camp, the explorers set off towards the mountains.)
In these examples, the Passé Antérieur tense is used to describe a completed action in the past that happened before another action. It is typically used in formal or literary writing, but can also be used in spoken French in more formal situations.
